competency to perform Infusion Therapy?
The particulars of “frequency of competency validation” will be set out by each institution employing nurses who perform infusion therapy. JCAHO states that every nurse performing infusion therapy will show competency on a “regular” basis. Most facilities tend to do competency validation of “basic” infusion therapy procedures every two years, with “high risk” procedures being validated every year. This validation goes into the nurse’s file.
